The Yup’ik Eskimo children of Alaska have “extremely impressive competencies and even expertise for surviving in a difficult environment, but because these skills are not ones valued by teachers” they tend to do very poorly in school. (Grigorenko et al.)

In Brazil, street children who are extremely successful in running street businesses, and highly expert in math skills necessary for those affairs, do very poorly in abstract, pencil-and-paper math problems. (Nunes)

In Berkeley, California, there is “no correlation” between housewives’ impressive abilities in comparison shopping math and scores on pencil-and-paper math tests. (Lave)
